Add a Quote33 quotes in IMDb but a few odd and dirty ones did not make the cut such as:
There once was a young and foolish dragon who came to ask a wise and cunning lion about acquiring his territory. Now, the lion, he wasn't interested, so he told the little dragon to fuck off. But the dragon couldn't understand what "fuck off" meant, so he persisted and continued to ask the lion about acquiring his territory. So the lion took the little dragon for a walk and put five bullets in his little dragon head. End of story.
-Now, allegedly there's a message in there.
I don't know what it is, but you're a clever boy, Dry Eye.

Well, this is Aslan Senior, Russian oligarch. Ex-KGB. Made all his money in gas pipes. And he's extremely sad that his one-and-only son fell out of a window.
Not in IMDb - this piece of conversation tells a lot about the slimy P.I. Fletcher (Hugh Grant) and Raymond (Charlie Hunnam), the right-hand man of Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey):
Fletcher: I do have my insurance policy in place. Everything will go to Big Dave, and from him to the public, and you, my love, will go to Mars. So, strong recommendation, just pay up and watch me recede into the sunset blowing kisses, yes?
Raymond: Well, then, time to use the door, you black bastard.
Fletcher: Well, that's just silly, isn't it, 'cause I'm not black.
Raymond: No, but your fucking soul is, you dark cunt. Now, out of my house, 'cause I'm going to bed.
Fletcher: Can I come with you?
Raymond: No, but you can go smoke the exhaust pipe in the back of your hearse.
Fletcher: I might come anyway. You'll just hear me scratching about in the dark, wanking into a hanky.

Add a CommentThe roundabout mangled story doesn't grip me strong enough.
Great plot and acting. Lots of plot twists. So fun to watch !
The acting was good. The movie was filled with famous actors. The thing that dragged the movie down to me was the plot, there was nothing exciting, nothing virtuous, nothing meaningful. But again, the actors and performances are nice to watch.
Surprisingly boring despite the all-star cast.
Fletcher (Hugh Grant) retells the events of Michael Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) to Michael's henchman Ray in the form of a screenplay. There is banter between the two along with several plot twists and turns. Definitely worth sticking through until the end.
What is it with a Guy Richie film! This one is as brutal as it comes.
Bad guys, gangs, violence, the whole shebang. But, if viewed as a comedy of sorts,
just enjoying the performances of the actors, all leads, some with accents so thick,
to be understood, the film is entertaining. It is not being sold as a comedy though,
to be clear.
Film décevant de Guy Ritchie qui reprend la même formule que dans ses premiers films de gangsters. Le seul intérêt est le jeu enjoué de Hugh Grant! À éviter!
Surprisingly entertaining. Not usually a fan of Guy Ritchie, but this was similar to an Elmore Leonard novel/movie. Won't win any awards but some plot twists and some pace. Slow in some areas however. I thought that Hugh Grant & Charlie Hunnam were good.
This is a strange film that I couldn't really get into until I was almost half-way through. I probably wouldn't watch this again.
Be patient and hang in this movie builds up momentum and is really good. But you have to pay attention and follow the story. This movie is not one that you can be on facebook at the same time. If you are one of those people that has a short attention span you most likely will be lost early in this movie. We just loved it with it's many twists and turns and is one of the few movies I might like to watch again. Yes, it really was that good. Before we watched the movie we took the time to read the reviews and noted a few that turned it off after a few minutes and blamed poor acting. No, not poor acting, the acting was great, issue is you have a short attention span.
